Need a prompt? Consider any of the following:

• Do earrings have particular meaning, significance or use in your family, community, or culture? How have they played part in your life? In the lives of your loved ones or those close to you?
• When and how did you have your ears pierced or modified? What did the experience mean to you?
• How do you choose earrings to wear, to buy, or to make? What draws you to a pair of earrings?
• What is your favorite pair of earrings and why are they your favorites? How do they make you feel? How did they come to you? When do you wear them and where do you keep them?

• Or feel free to explore the gallery for examples and ideas!

Do you wear earrings? Clip-ons?  Have ear modifications or adornments? Gauges? Know someone who does?

If you wear adornments or have modifications that you don’t call earrings, I would still love to hear from you, and to include your contributions!
